Re: help with choosing a sensor

You could use an optical proximity sensor (Banner or similar) mounted at a certain level, looking sideways, to detect when the pile of sawdust gets high enough to trip it. If you did that I'd suggest mounting it inside a transparent tube that hangs down into the bin.
